[edit] US vs. UK spelling

I did my best to stick with British spelling here, although I'm a Yank. I probably missed something; feel free to make appropriate corrections in this respect. - Jmabel | Talk 06:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I have made a few such changes. One other thing I noticed was the reference to the lack of reporting of his prior offences. This may have been in accordance with British law at the time. Certainly nowadays prior offences (previous convictions) cannot be taken into account by the court until and unless the defendant is found guilty, when they may contribute to the sentencing stage. As such the publicising of such previous convictions during the trial, had it occurred, might have been prosecutable as contempt of court. (I am not sure what the law would have been in those days.)

[edit] His bicycle or her bicycle?

The article contradicts itself. "She asked him if he had a wrench to help with her loose freewheel. He did not have one, but offered to accompany her, which she accepted." If it's her freewheel (a bicycle part), and he accompanied her, then it was her bicycle. But it also says "...Light hid his bike in a closet". So whose bicycle was it?

I think there were 2 bikes, dude. His was the green one....66.188.213.159 23:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
